Florencia Martinez

Florencia Martinez, an Italian-Argentine artist, was born in Buenos Aires in 1962. her Italian grandparents brought her up in a little Italy and this disorientation, this belonging to "elsewhere", the memory to be preserved and investigated, are visible in her work and are one of the most present themes.

This constant research has led her to use fabric, her primordial material. Over the years, the fabric, from container and co-protagonist in her photographic works, has become the subject in her latest works: it has become three-dimensional, it has become sculpture.
